" I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways has joined the new "
- Kanji on the blade which comes from "The Last Samurai" movie.

This sword is beautiful in the very traditional sense of the samurai. The samurai found beauty in all things in nature. Since the samurai's life was usually brief they sought beauty in every day life and held a special place for simple beauty.
Carved into the scabbard of this sword in kanji are three of the samurai creeds: " Polite Courtesy ", " Compassion ", and "Complete Sincerity". These were the morals and the oath that the samurai lived and died by. The sword of the samurai is what made them powerful, but the creed they lived by is what made them legend.
